We’ve rounded up the six types of shaping underwear to consider sporting for spring and summer, plus the brands that you can shop now.

Bodysuits

Wear one on its own, as a layering piece, or under a tight dress to feel comfortably held together. Necklines and hemlines will vary, so try investing in one that goes with the kinds of clothes you often wear. Skims also offers great skin tone shades for the ultimate camouflage.

Shorts

These aren't your average cycle shorts. Great for under mini skirts and dresses to protect you from those unexpected winds on the Underground platform. They're also a great alternative to shapewear skirts as they won't ride up.

Knickers

Want to smooth out your lower belly without wearing too much underneath? Go for a high-waisted pair of knickers. Plus these are built seamlessly to avoid VPLs. Score.

Tights

Regular tights have probably been a staple item in your wardrobe for as long as you can remember. But did you know there are tights specifically made for shaping the body? These ones are guaranteed not to slide down your waist midway through your Saturday night out.

Dresses

The classic slip dress is great to wear underneath tight dresses and see-through gowns, but we're also very here for wearing slip dresses on their own, along with leather jackets or blazers, for a blazé off-duty model vibe. Who's in?

Skirts

A combination of shorts and a dress, shapewear skirts are ideal for your less-restrictive days where you just want to feel sucked in Wear this under a dress of a similar length.
